'Simon Caldwell'
Hello I'm Simon Caldwell and welcome to our Mid-season Review, today we'll be looking at the races of last season and the up coming and all important Season 5 of the IGP Formula Motorsport Racing League. I'm joined today by my good friend Gordon Skye ...

'Gordon Skye'
And we are joined by special Guest Urban Ciber who has taken time our of his busy schedule during the testing of Laguna GP Racing's new car to join us.

'Urban Ciber'
Good Morning Simon, Gordon, pleasure to be here.

'Gordon Skye'
I got to say that I'm looking forward to reviewing the season, it was a cracker.

'Simon Caldwell'
That is was, looking back at last season, even during the first races we certainly had some tight competition in all the Divisions especially during the Rookie and Pro Division. Now we understand this was your first season within the Pro Division Urban, how did you find the competition at the start? Must have been a change from the Rookie right?


'Urban Ciber'
Well I gotta say the first few races were extremely tough. You are right, Simon it was extremely different and harder to compete with others but let's not forget that there was quite a big margin between back markers and the top teams in Pro at the start of the season. We in Laguna had some problems in development, luckily we got to sort it out in a first few races.

'Gordon Skye'
Urban, we're you expecting the difference in the talent of the drivers between Rookie and Pro?

'Urban Ciber'
Of course we did, but we didn't know how would we cope with it I think for the first season in Pro we did it alright, there were some things that we could do better, but there's always room for improvement. There were some races that we couldn't do anything better and we still were way off the pace. I guess it just depends which track suits your team better, when you are not so competitive. Fun season for us nonetheless.

'Gordon Skye'
And of course, the first few races, when none of the established Pro teams knew how well you would perform, that was your chance to pounce and surprise them.

'Simon Caldwell'
All too true, just like some of the Rookie teams, would you say we've had some good teams in Rookie Gordon? Certainly we've had some close matches, even for the first race Australia, we had 8 teams inside the points for that one.

'Gordon Skye'
Yeah, it's always interesting to see how the Rookie teams will perform, you have the teams who have been in Rookie for a while and brand new teams who joined for their 1st season, you can never can tell tho who is going to come out on top, an established team or a Rookie in their debut. Did anything surprise you in Australia?

'Simon Caldwell'
I think we were all surprised in Australia at just how close the teams were then, even the fans enjoyed the event. It set the grounds for what fast became an unpredictable season, we even had returning team being completely outstripped by the new faces, just look at Pied Piper, or Ferrari, maybe even Rex Motorsports before they left us, each one of these teams were in among the returning teams and fighting hard. Gravitas, been in the Rookie Division for a while now and even they were caught out by the pace of some of the teams, only managing to get 1 car into the points for 7th.

'Gordon Skye'
I think Audi getting third overall in the 1st race was quite something, of course, the 2 Adams in Pro leading the division with Hopsocube proving that having patience is the way to win and, boy did they win. For Elite I think the biggest surprise for me, for the fans and, I think for the team themselves was the performance of Skyeladder who, I my opinion were favourite for the title having won it the previous season, finishing off the podium was a shock to us all and started a trend that would continue all season.
Did anything catch your eye in the other divisions Urban?

'Urban Ciber'
I agree with you on the Hopsocube front. It's like they were on some secret engine mode, really dominating. I wasn't really paying attention on the other divisions, I rather concentrated on my own teams performance, but for the Skyeladder team I think that this was all just a consequence of recruiting new drivers in the team. As far as I know that team I think they are ready to get back on the top very soon.

'Simon Caldwell'
That was indeed a dominating drive from Hopsocube, almost the perfect season for them almost mirroring Cruz Crew of Season 3.
The Skyeladder team indeed took a back foot for last season, they had won the last 3 season championships, and were indeed the favourites for Elite, but what a shock to the system for them having not just 1 but 3 teams besting them in the opening race


'Gordon Skye'
That's not what I've heard on the grapevine, from what I've heard from a very reliable source, Skyeladder are having trouble in the wind tunnel. Anyway, Simon, back to the season and as far as Pro division was concerned, Hopsocube were the team to beat

'Urban Ciber'
I was wondering how can Hopsocube challenge in Elite?

'Gordon Skye'
We're about to find out. Have they spent all their time developing their car to dominate Pro or did they hold something back to help them in Elite?

'Simon Caldwell'
Ah but if we remember from season 3 to 4, Cruz Crew were the team to beat then and in Elite they were a force to be reckoned with there too.

'Gordon Skye'
Urban, how do you think you'll perform next season, are you going all out to challenge for promotion or are you spending the season building ready for a major attack the following season? Or is that a secret?

'Urban Ciber'
There is no goal yet, we''ll see in the first few races how it goes. We''ll do our best.

'Gordon Skye'
So, Simon, are you expecting Hopsocube to be one of the teams to beat?

'Simon Caldwell'
Well i certainly hope they will be among the pack, if we could get a start this season as we had in Rookie last season, Elite will definitely be a Division to watch. speaking of teams to watch, who would you say has been the most entertaining team last season? do you have an overall favourite or would you have to pick one from each Division?

'Gordon Skye'
For me, I'd have to pick Pied Piper in Rookie just because of the way they came back towards the end of the season, still having an outside chance of promotion until the last couple of races

In Pro, I would have said SL Racing but they went missing for the last few races, almost as though they weren't there. So for me in Pro I'd have to say, and not just because he's here, but Urban entertained me a lot proving that even tho you're new to the League and having a building year, you can still attack and race with the best given the opportunity but I'd also like an honourable mention to go to Suzie Q who battled on with humour even though just scoring a point was like a win for them and the way they sprayed the champaign when they did, eventually score a point will live with me forever, mainly cos my team shirt got covered in the stuff and still stinks

In Elite, I think the most entertaining team has to be Titi Bird for taking the fight to Cruz Crew
The most disappointing team in Elite, however is a fight between Skyeladder Racing and Blue Angels 1
How about you, Simon, do you have a most entertaining team?

'Simon Caldwell'
i would have to agree with you there, both Laguna and Carroll took up the challenge of Pro very well, they were good to watch.
Suzie Q and BMR Racing were really struggling, a returning team to IGP FMR since season 1 coming back for season 3 after that move to GT 500 League for the year, but still they seem to be struggling with their pace, but i think they could bring it back quite quickly this season.

As for the Rookie division it is hard to say, many a team have been great to watch, those that have come through the field, others that have barely gotten a point, but still held on for some great match ups. but for Rookie i would say RJT have been the better team to watch this season, not a single point until Turkey but still they held on to the back of the points, but for advancement you just need to look to the Bromley cousins. Jaguar had the advantage in the first 2 races, but Brian's cousin Brendon and BMW Racing started the season on 8 points but steadily grew to finish 3rd overall but it was a good match to watch

Elite saw many surprises, first and most noticeably of all were Skyeladders lack of pace, but how about Natalia and Proud Pink or even Leo with Notahc, came into the season in Germany but stormed the field to take 3rd in the standings with 2 races to go and Natalia having a great battle with Skyeladder even with such a poor line up in the drivers sector.

'Gordon Skye'
Yes, I really don't understand how a team like Proud Pink who were obviously having a building year, could take it to Skyeladder who should have been challenging for the title. A little bird tells me that they're very unhappy with their engine supplier and we could be seeing a new one for the upcoming season
So, Simon, which race are we looking at next?

'Simon Caldwell'
I would like to take a look at Monty Carlo and the Monaco GP because that was a turning point for many teams, and the potential to see just how a different track could suit some better drivers and their teams.

'Urban Ciber'
Oh Monaco, I love that track. I love coming there every season.

'Simon Caldwell'
It is a beautiful track

'Gordon Skye'
Monaco was fascinating, every division had a surprise for us Pied Piper in Rookie just missing out on the podium, SL Racing in Pro getting their 1st podium of the year and proving that they're not going to give up that promotes lot without a fight. Laguna also got their best result of the season so far proving that their car deign works better on slow twisty circuits

In Elite we had the battle we always seemed to have this season between SLB and Cruz Crew a close race but still the 2 teams seem inseparable. Skyeladder flattered to receive the results they got, finishing just behind the top two teams, but in reality they were almost a lap behind, showing that they really were struggling this season and questions remain as the team blamed the engine, but their trusted engine supplier who had seen them win 4 titles together, we're blaming the chassis, saying that the wind tunnel numbers didn't correlate with the numbers they get from the track which, worryingly is the story we're getting from pretty season testing
Urban, what's Monaco like for a team new to the Pro division?

'Urban Ciber'
Well for some reason I always did well there so I was expecting a good result and I got it! Those 6th place points really helped me in the championship. It was also a bit surprising because in the previous races I hardly got in the points. Looking forward to get there again this season. Hopefully we can taste the champagne this time.

'Simon Caldwell'
Well lets hope you do, but you are right Gordon that race was really a turning point. Always unexpected results at Monaco but always good racing, and a calender favourite for many a driver.
But if we were to look over the entire last season, the battles we had were intense to say the least. In Rookie we had the group of Gravitas, WI Racing, Schwinesteiger and Jaguar all of them giving every inch for every race it made for some entertaining races even down the field, Blue Angels 2, RJT, Chemql and Pandaslo they were together too.
In Pro we had that battle for 2nd and 3rd in the standing with Aston Martin, Benfica and SL Racing, while behind them, Carroll Laguna and BMR went at it for many races.
Even Elite had their share of bouts, SLB Racing is Cruz Crew, then Notahc joining the fray at Belgium, Skyeladder, Blue Angels 1 and Proud Pink. All of them great entertainment for us and the crowd.

'Gordon Skye'
Who could have foreseen that Benfica would get 2nd ahead of SL Racing who just didn't seem to be there for the last few races
And Urban that result seemed to energize your team

'Urban Ciber'
Hmmm well, I think there was some behind the scenes talk about promotions. Some strange results and tactics took place in the last few races.
I dont think that should go on air hahahaa
Teams can do what they wana do.

'Simon Caldwell'
hmm well we will have to see, we can only speculate at this point.
now to the true matter at hand, the upcoming season, how do you see this one going Gordon?

'Gordon Skye'
Hmm with Rookie division so open this season its hard to say, so many new teams, some will stay, some will go, some will prove to be strong. Established teams will also be strong. It's hard to look past the strongest teams from last season who just missed out on promotion, I think they'll be there a fain this season.
As for Pro, I'm not sure but if they can get a strong start, Urban could spring a surprise as could Pied Piper, but knowing what we know from last season I suspect Priyanka will be going all out for the championship, it's 1st or bust for her
Elite, if I'm honest, I gave no idea, there are already some clever tactics going on and the only thing I can say with almost certaincy is that Proud Pink and Skyeladder will be fighting for the crumbs
What are your thoughts, Urban?

'Urban Ciber'
Well in Rookie i think this will be Sasha's Gravitas Racing season. They were close to promotion every season but now I think they will make it through. They are my favorites this season.
For Pro I would say Aston Martin are the favorites, and not far behind is SL Racing team, hopefully our crew Laguna can challenge, also Carroll of course. But you never know what teams who just promoted from Rookie are capable of. I would say they will be closer than we were last season for sure.

'Simon Caldwell'
For the Rookie Division i would say a deffinate challenger for the Championship is WI Racing after last season they were getting very close to challenging the top teams. perhaps Pied Piper might get up there, but i doubt they could offer a good challenge, BMW and Opal could certainly be good contenders.
Pro i would certainly say Aston Martin and SL Racing are the better challengers for the Title but as you say Urban yourself and Martin with Carroll GP are very good for taking on the challenge this season.
As for Elite, i would say it be a toss up between Notahc and SLB Racing for the title, after Cruz Crew's downslide towards the end of last season i highly doubt they could challenge now.

'Gordon Skye'
Urban, I think you're right for Rookie but I'm not sure about SL Racing, it depends whether Adam can come back after the disappointment of last season when they were almost given 2nd only to lose it with some dreadful performances over the last few races

'Urban Ciber'
Cars and teams are already in Australia, some already did few practice laps. We cant wait to get back racing! We will do first few laps tomorrow evening probably.

'Simon Caldwell'
Thank you Urban we do look forward to seeing you out there, it does look to be a hot one too. Only time will really tell who will be on top, have you got your votes in yet? Who do you think will be the teams to beat this season? From all of us here it goodbye from me Simon Caldwell,

'Gordon Skye'
And me, Gordon Skye.

'Simon Caldwell'
Urban it has been a pleasure. See you all at Australia for the start of Season 5 of the IGP Formula Motorsport Racing League. Drive safe everybody.

'Urban Ciber'
Thank you very much, see you all in Australia.

Welcome to Australia and the first race of Season 5. Now we all knew this was going to be a cracking opener but just how much was anyone's guess. But we now can reveal that this race was nothing short of electric. To fully understand the results, we must first provide the Grid Positions after qualifying, and here they are;



as you can see, a lot of team were unsure of the conditions and opted for the safer Medium Tire, many wanted to get the best grid position they could by taking the Super Soft, and some opted for the more durable Soft tire, but only one team went for the audacious Hard tire, that of Pied Piper starting this race down in 18th and 20th places, but what laps from WI Racing to lock out the front row, over half a second faster than any other team. It puts them in a very strong position for the start of the race, but with so many teams and drivers close behind It would be hard pressed to keep them all behind them.

As we expected, Chemql, BMW and Opal are way up the grid and in great positions to pounce on the cars ahead of them and even battle the rival teams. But at the other end of the spectrum, using Hard Tires the promising team of Pied Piper of last season seems to have made a huge mistake in choosing tires, what could they possibly do from here.

The answer? This;



Pied piper absolutely stormed the field and took their first Podium and Win in one fell swoop. Moss outstripped BMW, WI Racing and even her own team mate to beat the rest of the field by almost 16 Seconds, it was a fantastic drive, and there was little that WI or BMW could do about it other than watch as she slowly made her progress through the field.

Gravitas were also another team to work their way through the field, having a good battle with Opal along the way, with the Pair sharing Row 6, while Opal started on Row 7 the other gravitas started on Row 11, however it did not deter them from getting the maximum out of their car. However joining their fight were the unlikely pairing of Blue Angels II and also Nutt Racing, one of our new teams to join the Rookie Division. An excellent run from the Rookie team to bring them from 16th and 17th on the grid up to 11th and 12th, just outside the points, but it was a fine effort.

On the flip side a massive disappointment for Chemql, as they started in rows 3 and 4 but ended way down the field for 15th and 17th places, they seem to already be running into trouble.

These results have put a great spin on the Constructors Championship as BMW and Pied Piper share the top spot with 33 Points each WI Racing just 11 Points behind in 3rd.



Looking at the Grid for our Pro Division we can clearly see that many of the teams are very close in terms of single lap spead, the first 3 rows being separated by less than a second.



However if we look to the results it becomes quite clear that Aston Martin have a huge advantage over the rest of the field, and they showed it today by taking 1st and second with SL Racing follow behind by a fair bit, but still able to take 3rd and 4th, a great result for our two promising teams.

However you may have noticed Laguna GP only have one car on the grid, due to a error Laguna was force to run only one car today, but rest assured they will be at full strength for the Malaysian GP. That said Laguna did a fantastic job of getting their car into 5th Position and the very much needed points along with it.



These results give a more uniformed view at the top of the Constructors with Aston and SL leading the way. However only Jaguar were unable to score points, perhaps this will reflect on the rest of the season, that Pro Division are so close that no one will be left behind.



The Skyeladder Fans had something to cheer about in the Qualifiers as they took Pole Position in our Elite Division but it was a very close call because the first 4 rows are separated by less than a second.



However the Race showed us an entirely different story. Charging through the field were Koenigsegg and Tifosi both team wanting that podium spot, but it was Koenigsegg Cruz Crew that took that victory with 1st and 2nd leaving Tifosi 3rd and 4th with SLB Racing left for 5th and 6th.



And with these results we have all our Constructors Tables filled.



A great day of racing across all Divisions, I do hope we can keep this up for the rest of the season, because this is going to be one heck of a ride to be on. Can BMW and Pied Piper continue their good fortune? Will Aston Martin dominate Pro Division as Hopsocube had last year? and can Skyeladder change those Pole positions into race wins?

Welcome one and All to Malaysia and a beautiful clear day for the 2nd round of the IGP Formula Motorsport Racing Leagues 5th Season, first of all let us run through the Grid order for our Rookie Division.



As we can see it was almost uniform at the top, BMW taking the front Row WI Racing taking the second, Didikong taking row 3, Gravitas and Nutt shared row 4, Blue Angels II took the 5th Row with Pied Piper behind on Row 6, Opal take Row 7 with Gravitas, Nutt and TGI Motosports sharing rows 8 and 9 while RJT Take the 10th row.

However as we can see most teams were opting to start on the Medium Tire, while a few more took the Harder route than in Australia. This put a new spin on the race as it would mean that it would mostly be the skill of the drivers that would get them higher or lower.

The race itself was an epic affair, WI Racing and BMW were out the gate and taking off running for the first part of the race, that was until Pied Pipers Strategy started to come into play. Once they had their tires where they wanted them they could not be stopped, and yet again took the Victory with 1st and 4th with WI Racing taking the two other podium spots, however their battle left BMW over a minute behind the lead car.

But they had to be careful not to get mixed up in the battle behind them as Gravitas, Opal, Nutt and Blue Angels II were in an intense battle for the remaining points with each of these teams claiming one of the remaining points scoring positions; Nutt taking 7th, Opal 2.6 second behind for 8th, only narrowly taking that position from Gravitas as they crossed the line in 9th almost level with Opal, 2.2 seconds down the road Blue Angels II take the last and remaining points scoring position.

At the other end of the spectrum, Didikong, after a promising start found themselves way down the field in 18th and 24th places, a great start but still they need to convert that into a points paying position.



This puts a new spin on the Constructors as it leave BMW, who were joint 1st after Australia, now in 3rd, Pied Piper running away with 70 points in 1st and WI Racing in 2nd. Incidentally WI Racing have announced that Eric Sloan, who has been one of the directors for the team since its beginning, will now be representing the team as its official Team Boss.

As we look down the Constructors table we see that it is a fight for 4th between Gravitas, Opal, Nutt and Blue Angels II who are also the only teams to currently gain points. But it is clear that the top 3 spots might already be decided, but in just which order will they finished at the end of the season?



As we turn to our Pro Division we first take a look at the starting grid as we find Jaguar locking out the front row with Laguna and Carroll sharing both rows 2 and 3, but our Front runners Aston Martin were seen down on rows 4 and 6 with 8th and 11th grid slots, but they were not deterred as they smiled for the cameras. A spokes person for Aston Martin was quoted saying "we have the perfect position, this race is ours." Unless they had some secret plan, no one could see how they were to get up the front.



However it soon became apparent they Aston Martin were to take the race quite comfortably. As their drivers seemed to only be racing themselves and treating the rest of the field as back markers as they easily worked their way to the front, at many a time double teaming the other drivers as they drove for the front. 1st and 2nd were certain for them as they took those positions with almost 50 seconds before the next car back in 3rd crossed the line.

Puputan had a fantastic drive to take 3rd and 4th, rocketing the team from 2 to 29 Points and into second for the constructors tables. Unfortunately for SL Racing however they seemed unable to make up the ground after a mistake in Qualifying left them starting on an undesired tire they could only manage to claw back up to 12th and 14th positions.



With these results now calculated, it turns some teams down the table to a contender for promotion, but it also allows us to be right in the fact that no teams have points of 0 each team now has a minimum of 6 points. Putting a new question in all of our minds, just how many points will our Pro teams get over the course of the season? and for many a team, they will only be fighting for 2nd in the standings.



Finally we come to our Elite Division and this is how the grid looks after Qualifying.



Many of the teams were starting on the Harder tire, only Italia Guitars Skyeladder Team seemed to be running a Split Strategy by running one of their cars on the Soft tire, true this gave them an almost guaranteed Pole position, but just how far would those tires take them.

As it turned out not very far as they could only manage 9th and 10th as they crossed the Line. On the other hand, Hopsocube seemed to be in a good groove since Australia as they came through the field to take on Tifosi for the 5th spot, ultimate it would be the Strategy on the first Tifosi car that would get them that 5th position, but they could not stop SLB Racing in front of them who took 3rd and 4th. Koenigsegg took the top spots by 10 seconds not an easy run, but the Elite teams are very close in terms of performance.



In the constructors Koenigsegg seem to be running with it as they are almost double the amount of points ahead of SLB Racing. A new rival emerges for the Skyeladder Team as Hopsocube are separated by just 1 point.



Yet another fantastic race is concluded, but just how close are these teams really?
Will WI Racing and BMW be able to catch up to Pied Piper?
Can the 4 teams behind them pull something out of the hat to get back into contention for the Championship? Certainly they are all very talented teams.
Are we already seeing two different battles within the tables?
Will Aston Martin continue their domination and follow after Hopsocube and before them Cruz Crew?
And just who of Puputan, SL Racing and Schwinesteiger take the second promotion?
Has Koenigsegg already taken their next Championship?
Or can Tifosi or SLB Racing take it from them?
And just who will come out on top between Hopsocube and Skyeladder?

Welcome Race Fans to China and the 3rd Round of the IGP FMR League Championship Season 5. We kick start our review off the a blistering pace set by Kuzmenko for BMW in qualifying, Kuzmenko was so in the zone he crossed the line 0.8 Seconds ahead of 2nd position. What a time to beat. Here is how the rest of the Qualifying stood up to the pace setter:



The Race itself as a fantastic display of just how well some teams are oiled together. Our Pole sitter Kuzmenko was the car to beat in the early stages of the race, however as teams and strategies came into play once more his lead would soon diminish. To be replaced by the dueling pair Pied Piper and WI Racing, yet again both Eric and Ariel had ran their teams to absolute perfection and once again they took the top 4 positions for the finish, Kuzmenko could only watch from 5th place as his fantastic Pole position was slowly taken from him.

Our team with the biggest downfall was Didikong Racing, after obtaining the grids of 2nd and 4th, they would be absolutely swamped by the rest of the field, ending up way down in 15th and 18th places even being lapped by the lead group, a great disappointment for the team.

That being the case the top ten were a battle ground for other teams, BMW, Blue Angels II, Gravitas, Opal, Nutt and Chemql were all in the hunt for points today. It made for some great racing and wonderful wheel to wheel action, Opal took 6th and 11th, BMW took of course 5th with Kuzmenko but also 7th with Novotny. Blue Angels II finished 8th and 9th while Gravitas took the last points spot along with 16th. Chemql found 12th and 13th while Nutt secured 14th and 17th.



And this now leaves Pied Piper, WI Racing and BMW over 2 race wins away from their next rivals, that of Opal and Gravitas, and still we have only 7 teams with any points at all, but still thanks you some good results other teams have been able to move up the rankings.



Many Pro teams seemed to be opting for split strategies with the way the Qualifying went:



However as the race began, two teams worked their strategies very well. Aston Martin and Puputan showed the rest of the field how it was done and powered through the field to finished 2nd and 3rd for Aston Martin and 3rd and 4th for Puputan, but neither team could stop Hunt for SL Racing, he was on fire today taking the win by 6 seconds.

Our Pole sitter Williams for Jaguar could only hold on to 6th place while his team mate was languishing down at the very back of the field, 3 laps down and unable to do anything about it.

Laguna were able to get both cars into the points with 7th and 10th with the second SL Racing driver taking 8th and BMR Racing finishing 9th.



Even though Aston Martin did not get the perfect Season they were hoping for, it has still left them clear of the other teams by 63 points, leaving SL Racing and Puputan to fight it out for 2nd and 3rd.



Elite Qualifying was a strange one. As the results came in, it left all the drivers in rows 3 to 7 on the dirty side of the track, all of whom were starting on hard tires. while the remaining drivers of rows 4 to 7 were on Medium tires. It made for a very interesting race.



The Pole sitter Jones for Team Italia could do nothing to stop the veritable train that steamed through the field, both Koenigsegg cars, both Hopsocube cars and a Tifosi blitzed the field to take the top 5 spots. McCarthy Jr taking first for Koenigsegg with Stark behind in 2nd. Yeo came 3rd for Tifosi while Johnson and Roberts took 4th and 5th for Hopsocube.

Raikkonen finished 6th for UM Boyer, some much needed points for them, while the second Tifosi car, driven by Dupont came 7th. Jones was able to hold onto 8th with Proud Pink and SLB Racing able to take the last points spots.



With the Results now finalized it has left UM Boyer bouncing up to 6th in the standings leaving Proud Pink and Benfica below them. SLB Racing lose their second spot and Yeo's finish in 3rd was able to lift the team once more While Hopsocube continue their advance and prepare to take on and challenge for that 3rd spot.



As our teams now prepare for the Bahrain GP we say goodnight from all of us here at the FMR Studios and remember, get those Applications in, we always have new spots available.

Welcome to the Bahrain GP Review. As always let us first run down the starting grid for the Rookie Division. We had a great qualifying as BMW's Kuzmenko once again tops the times by almost a second from everyone else. WI Racing, Didikong and Blue Angels II showed some much needed promise by starting very well up the field in rows 2, 3 and 5. But it was Nutt Racing's Roberts that shared the front row with Kuzmenko.



The race itself was fantastic, a real display of skill and determination, none more so than WI Racing and Pied Piper, WI stormed the field to take the lead very early on, with Moss only able to finish just 20 seconds behind the leader even after she pushed so hard to get to the podium.

Gravitas did very well to gain 4th ahead of both Nutt and BMW and the second Pied Piper driver who were all battling for the points. Opal was able to hang in there for the last points spot.





Pro Qualifying was a much closer battle than Rookie. with Jaguar, Carroll and Laguna taking the top 3 rows with Jaguar taking pole. Aston Martin and Puputan were able to stay in the top 10, but SL Racing having an appalling run by ending up on the 7th row.



However the race was a different affair, Aston Martin were unstoppable yet again as they once again seemed to be in a class of their own, easily taking 1st and 2nd by over 30 seconds. Laguna finished well in 3rd and 4th. leaving Puputan, Carroll and Schwinesteiger to battle it out for the remaining points. Jaguar just missing out in 11th and 12th.





An unusual sight found Qualifying for the Elite Division, every driver had opted for the Hard or Medium Tires, no one was attempting to run a softer tire, it would turn out to be great for the race.



It became a race for the 2nd place as Dupont was in a groove no one else could find. SLB Found 2nd ahead of the two Koenigsegg drivers with the remaining drivers of Tifosi and SLB taking 5th and 6th.

Italia did well to hold on to 7th and 8th with Hopsocube taking 9th and 10th.





Join us again for the Spanish GP.
